When Mélanie Watt, the award-winning author and illustrator of Scaredy Squirrel, tries to write a book about a mouse, her story is taken over by a large tortoiseshell cat named Chester.  Armed with a red marker, Chester packs the mouse onto an air plane destined for someplace far, far away, and moves into the story.  Literally.  When Mélanie tries to regain control of her mouse story, Chester outwits her, and soon the author-illustrator and the cat are engaged in a hilarious game of strategy and one-upmanship to get their story told!
Engagingly written by Mélanie Watt and Chester, this picture storybook about an unexpected character who runs amok, is funny, fast paced and sure to capture the hearts of both young and old!
Chester won the 2009 Blue Spruce Prize!
